Retro Recipes: Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes was a popular recipe back in the 1950's.  Ground beef is cooked in a sweet tomato based sauce (similar to barbecue sauce) and served in a bun.  These days, sloppy Joes have disappeared off menus and are usually only found in the convenience food aisle at the grocery store.  These homemade sloppy Joes are a quick and easy meal that can be cooked up any night of the week.  The sauce is made from an assortment of pantry staples that almost everyone has in their kitchen.   Sloppy Joes are making a comeback- starting in your kitchen.
